If you\u2019re particularly port limited, it could mean unplugging one drive from one of your precious few Thunderbolt ports, to plug in the other to tap into that drive\u2019s full capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the new <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/OWC\/TB5T4000\">OWC ThunderBay 4<\/a> is here to simplify things. The new ThunderBay 4 is a four-bay RAID solution built atop Thunderbolt 5, delivering all the speed, reliability, and RAID management you\u2019ve come to expect from ThunderBay. but now with a faster downstream Thunderbolt 5 port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that&#8217;s not all. While the previous ThunderBay 4 topped out at 96TB, the new model holds up to 128TB of raw capacity in a single aluminum enclosure. That\u2019s another 32TB for the RAW files, family videos, and years of finished projects you\u2019d like to keep close at hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Thunderbolt 5 Brings to a Hard Drive Array<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-213x120.jpg 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-1400x787.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-548x308.jpg 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-213x120@2x.jpg 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-284x160@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-macbook-pro-workstation-crop-190x107@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With hard drives installed, the new <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/OWC\/TB5T4000\">ThunderBay 4 <\/a>delivers data speeds up to 1,268MB\/s. ThunderBay 4 also supports 2.5&#8243; SATA SSDs at speeds up to 1,703MB\/s. But the real upgrade that Thunderbolt 5 brings to ThunderBay 4 is enhanced connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the new ThunderBay 4, you can skip the port selection dance. Connect your ThunderBay 4 to one of your Mac\u2019s Thunderbolt 5 ports and when it comes time to shuttle data onto your ThunderBay, simply plug your <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/memory-cards\/atlas\">memory card reader<\/a> or Thunderbolt 5 SSD like the <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/owc-envoy-ultra\">OWC Envoy Ultra<\/a> into the ThunderBay 4\u2019s downstream Thunderbolt 5 port. One cable to the Mac gives you access to both drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And because Thunderbolt 5 is fully compatible with USB-C and USB4 devices, you can also plug in those devices into ThunderBay 4\u2019s downstream port as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Much Space Do You Get?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-213x120.jpg 213w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-284x160.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-1400x787.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-750x421.jpg 750w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-548x308.jpg 548w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-364x204.jpg 364w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-213x120@2x.jpg 426w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-284x160@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/thunderbay-4-thunderbolt-5-back-front-combo-190x107@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ThunderBay 4 is now available in capacities up to 128TB. Models ordered with storage installed from the factory arrive configured as RAID 5, which lets the array keep working even in the event that one drive fails. In the 128TB configuration, the equivalent of one of the four drives goes toward that protection, leaving about 96TB of usable capacity before formatting. For comparison, the previous 96TB configuration gave you about 72TB in RAID 5. That\u2019s roughly 24TB more usable space with the same protection and the same number of bays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you want to setup your ThunderBay 4 in a different RAID level, <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/softraid\">OWC SoftRAID 9<\/a> makes it easy to do so while monitoring drive health in the background. And if you or your team need remote access, ThunderBay 4 is built to work seamlessly with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.owc.com\/strada\">Strada<\/a>, allowing you to remotely browse, preview, and edit ThunderBay media without cloud uploads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pricing and Availability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/OWC\/TB5T4000\">OWC ThunderBay 4 with Thunderbolt 5<\/a> is available for pre-order starting November 10. The empty enclosure starts at $449.99 for those who want to bring their own drives. Preconfigured models start at $1,499.99, with shipments expected to begin the week of November 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OWC ThunderBay 4 now holds up to 128TB and adds
